5.31 Mon 6p: Bauer vs. Flaherty 6.1 Tue 7p: TBD vs. Gant 6.2 Wed 6p: Buehler vs. C Martinez
So the Giants came back into our house and spanked us back into third place. Mookie is almost certainly hurt, not just slumping.. Urias picked an inopportune time to drop the biggest turd of his career, with Roberts leaving him out there to hang for six innings (including trotting Urias out there for an inexplicable and impotent B6 AB, despite relieving him before the top of the seventh).
And the Dodgers are back to an offensive malaise, just scoring enough to make the final margin close(r) but not enough to win the game (see Friday's Austin Barnes B9 tying three-run HR, only to be followed by Kenley Jansen giving three runs right back in the top of the tenth).
St. Louis leads the Central with a record very close to the Dodgers' record (StL 30-23; LAD 31-22). This could easily be another series where the cards aren't in our favor.

Lux and Taylor go back to back in the second for a 2-0 lead!
CT3 with an unreal 14 pitch at bat with the bases loaded hits a base clearing double! 6-3 Dodgers in the 6th!
That could be the turning point of the season. What a great battle.
WIN
Great win last night. I actually enjoyed watching the game.
GAME 2
Price looks like he gets the "start"
GAME 2
Betts RF
Muncy 2B
Turner 3B
Smith C
Lux SS
Taylor CF
Pujols 1B
Beaty LF
Price P
Price wriggles off the hook and allows only the one run in the first. Oh yeah, and it took 29 pitches.
John Gant looks like he may have been a neighbor of the Unabomber.
1-0 StL through 1.
One-out walk by Price.
Wow that first inning could have been a lot worse for us. We got lucky.
Well that was a short outing for Price. 1.2IP, and he leaves with first and third and two out.
Suns up on the Lakers 40-26 in the second. Yikes
Kelly gets Goldschmidt for the third out. 2-0 StL through 1.5
The Pouter comes in and shuts down the Cards. 2-0 Birds.
@Sax...Is A.D. playing??
@karen, i don't think so. So we're boned without Davis
Dodgers waste a chance in the bottom of the second.
Kelly has a 1-2-3 top of the third.
BEAUTIFUL PLAY MAX!!!
Friars lost, frisco circling the drain in Anaheim. We need a win here.
Leadoff walk to Turner and we can't do ANYTHING with him. Come on.
2-0 Cards through 4
78-45 PHX, 6:47 in the 3rd. Ugh
@Sax...OH MY GOD
Okay it's still 2-0 now in the bottom of the sixth, with Mookie leading off and Gant at 80 pitches. Let's go.
Mookie with a leadoff single to center. Good hit as well. Two hits last night, walk and a hit tonight (from Orel on the commentary). Let's hope Mookie is back.
With that hit, I'm going to go pour me some wine.
Suns by 30 with 10:37 left in the 4th.
Wow, Damian Lillard had two clutch threes to send the game into OT and 2OT. But the Blazers fall in 2OT.
Max gets robbed by Edman for out #1.
That freaking Edmund kid has got to go.
RIP Mike Marshall, the first reliever to win the Cy Young Award
Turner Ks.
We're gonna strand Mookie again.
This ump is calling a lot of low and wide pitches as strikes. It's frustrating. Roberts is barking from the dugout.
Will Smith ground rule double, which is good, but Mookie won't score now.
94 pitches for Gant.
Here's Lux, with two RISP and two out.
Lux broken bat flare to shallow center, but Dylan Carlson catches it on the slide. Nice play.
2-0 Cards through 6.
Sad news about Mike Marshall. RIP Mr. Marshall.
what the hell, Beaty. Drops an easy fly out and then sweeps the ball away so Carpenter can take second with one out. Geez.
Redemption time Beaty.
REDEEMED!!!!
Holy shit, Beaty redeems his error with a game-tying HR!!!
@karen: beat me to the punch!
What a short compact swing by Beaty. Amazing that he has the strength to go oppo with that one. Amazing.
Go ahead and drop meaningless fly balls in the future, Matt!
Oh it wasn't oppo, my bad. Beaty is a lefty
Cody does not look good up there in the batters box.
@Sax...Great minds and all that shit. :)
2-2 through 7.
JT shoots down Arenado.
PHX 115, LAL 85 Final. Ouch
Better hope AD is good for Games 6 and 7
Turner overcomes the bad home plat ump with a single to left!
one out
what the hell was that in Turner's mouth there? Looks like a flattened white twinkie?!
Smith Ks feebly
Cards take a 3-2 lead off of Treinen, who hasn't registered an out yet.
Here we go. B9, CT3 starts out against Reyes, the Cardinals' ace closer who is perfect this year.
CT3 whiffs on four pitches.
McKinstry flies out weakly to left. Two out.
Here's Tsutsugo. Yikes.
Tsutsugo works a walk which is about as good as you could hope for.
Here's Bellinger. Two out, B9. Man on first. But the man isn't fast, so he'll have to rope it.
Bellinger batting .133 this year.
1-1 pitch blows right by Belli. 1-2
2-2
Base hit for Bellinger. But now it's up to Mookie.
2-0 count to Mookie. Mound visit.
OMG...it hurts so bad!!!
I thought Mookie had it.
Wow. Mookie roped it and almost hit it out but O'Neill grabs it for the final out. Dammit.
Night Sax.
Okay, let's win this series tomorrow. Treinen, this one is on you.
GAME 3

The Dodgers explode for 11 runs in the first! Bellinger had 6 RBIs in the first including a grand slam!
Buehler with two hits and two RBIs to help is cause. Dodgers up 14-3 in the fifth.
holy shit, 11 runs in the first?! what did I miss?!?!?!
The Cards starter gave up 6 hits and 4 walks while only getting two outs. Reliever came in with the bases loaded and Cody took a 3-0 pitch out for a grand slam!
Will Smith into the game to play third base.
Will gets an error in his first fielding chance. No gold glove.
Oh man, Orel is singing the Gilligan's Island theme.
What is going on here
WIN
